Abstract
This report examines global emissions of major air pollutants (SO2, NOx, PM2.5) resulting from
energy scenarios developed for the World Energy Outlook 2010 (OECD/IEA, 2010). Estimates
include emissions for 25 regions according to the aggregation used in the IEA World Energy Model
(WEM). Emissions have been estimated using the IIASA GAINS model.
The 2010 Outlook discusses three energy pathways for the next 30 years. The Current Policies
Scenario reflects all policies currently enforced (as of mid-2010), but no new policies after the present.
The 450 Scenario assumes - up to 2020 – implementation of the Copenhagen Accord in its most
ambitious form. It also assumes that all fossil fuel subsidies are phased out. After 2020 the 450
Scenario assumes that policies are implemented to achieve emissions cuts compatible with long-term
temperature increases of no more than 2o C. The last scenario considered is the so-called New Policies
Scenario, which simulates implementation of the less ambitious end of the Copenhagen Accord
pledges, and planned fossil fuel subsidy removal. These pathways were implemented into the GAINS
model. Next, emissions of air pollutants were calculated. Calculations take into account the current air
pollution control legislation and policies in each country or region as adopted or in the pipeline by
mid-2010. Presented in this report estimates do not include emissions from international shipping as
well as cruising emissions from aviation. They also do not include emissions from biomass burning
(deforestation, savannah burning, and vegetation fires).
In 2005, world emissions of SO2 from sources covered in this report were about 96 million tons.
OECD countries contributed 29 percent of this total. Implementation of pollution controls for the
Current Policies Scenario causes an 11 percent decrease in world emissions of SO2 in 2020 compared
with 2005. This is a combined result of more than halving of emissions from OECD countries,
increase in China and India, and a decrease in Russia, South Africa, and Middle East. After 2020
emissions from the non-OECD countries start to rise, which causes an increase of world emissions by
about five million tons until 2035. The corresponding world emissions of NOx are: 86 million tons in
2005 (of which 43 percent originated from the OECD countries), 11 percent decrease until 2020 and
next increase until 2035 by about 15 million tons. Emissions of PM2.5 (38.2 million tons in 2005) are
dominated by the sources from non-OECD countries – 90 percent of total. In the period 2020 to 2035
the world emissions are by up to seven percent higher, which is again due to the increase of emissions
from the non-OECD countries.
The 450 Scenario causes an important reduction in emissions of air pollutants. In 2035 the emissions
of SO2 are one third lower than in the Current Policies case. Emissions of NOx decrease by 27 percent
and those of PM2.5 by eight percent. However, the emissions of PM2.5 in the OECD countries
increase by 19 percent, which is due to the growth in use of biomass as household fuel. Emissions for
the “New Policies” scenario lie between those for the Current Policies and the 450 scenarios.
Costs of the air pollution controls were in 2005 about 157 billion €/a1. Until 2035 these costs increase
in the Current Policies Scenario by a factor of three, which is due to higher activity levels and
increasing stringency of controls. In 2035, 64 percent of the total control costs are the expenditures on

reducing emissions from road transport. The 450 Scenario brings 23 percent cost savings in 2035
compared with the Current Policies case.
The Study also estimated health impacts of air pollution in Europe, China and India in terms of life
years lost (YOLL) attributable to the exposure from anthropogenic emissions of PM2.5. PM
concentrations as in 2005 cause a loss of about 1.9 billion life-years2. This estimate is dominated by
impacts in China and India. The Current Policies Scenario implies an increase of the YOLL indicator
in 2035 by about 70 percent to 3.2 billion. Decrease of PM concentrations as in the 450 Scenario in
2035 saves more than seven hundred million life-years.
Lower impact indicators and lower air pollution control costs in the scenarios with more active climate
policies, and in particular in the 450 Scenario, clearly demonstrate important co-benefits of climate
measures for air pollution.

1 Introduction
This report describes the work executed by IIASA based on a contract with the International Energy
Agency (IEA) to provide a set of emission trends that correspond to the World Energy Model analysis
developed by the IEA for the World Energy Outlook 2010 (OECD/IEA, 2010). IIASA calculated
emissions of major air pollutants: SO2, NOx, and PM2.5 for three energy scenarios, namely:
The Current Policies Scenario
The New Policies Scenario and
The 450 Scenario.
A short characterization of these scenarios is included in section 2. The analysis employs as the central
analytical tool the IIASA GAINS model. Methodology for air pollution calculations within GAINS is
described in Amann, 2004. Estimates include emissions for 25 regions according to the aggregation
used in the IEA World Energy Model. The national assessment does not cover the emissions from
international shipping as well as cruising emissions from aviation. Also emissions from biomass
burning (deforestation, savannah burning, and vegetation fires) are not included in national totals.
The remainder of this report is organized as follows: Section 2 summarizes activity scenarios included
in the analysis. It also explains assumptions about emission control legislation for individual
countries/country groups. Section 3 presents emission projections by country group, economic sector
and by fuel. In Section 4 emission control costs are shown. Section 5 discusses health impacts of the
scenarios. Conclusions are drawn in Section 6.

2 Activity projections
The 2010 World Energy Outlook discusses three energy pathways for the next 25 years. The Current
Policies Scenario reflects all policies currently enforced (i.e., as of mid-2010), but no new policies
after the present. The 450 Scenario assumes - up to 2020 – implementation of the Copenhagen Accord
in its most ambitious form. It also assumes that all fossil fuel subsidies are phased out. After 2020 the
450 Scenario assumes that policies are implemented to achieve emissions cuts compatible with long-
term temperature increases of no more than 2o C. The last scenario considered is the so-called New
Policies Scenario, which simulates implementation of the less ambitious end of the Copenhagen
Accord pledges, and planned fossil fuel subsidy removal.
All three scenarios were developed with the World Energy Model (WEM) and include 25 world
regions. Regions are either individual countries or groups of countries with similar policies and
emission characteristics. Countries that are major energy consumers (and CO2 emitters) are treated on
an individual basis. Coverage of each region is explained in Appendix 1. The scenarios provide details
for the period up to 2035 with focus on 2020, which is essential for the decisions about the mid-term
development of the world energy system and the climate-negotiations process.
The Current Policies Scenario reflects unchanged governmental energy and climate policies. This
scenario is unsustainable and puts the globe on a path to double the CO2 concentrations, which might
result in an increase of global average temperature by up to 6o C with all negative impacts of such an
increase. The alternative scenarios assume implementation of measures to curb down the emissions of
energy-related emissions of CO2. Details on energy consumption structure for the WEO 2010 energy
scenarios, together with major macroeconomic characteristics (population, GDP and value added by
major economic sector) have been provided to IIASA by the IEA. Next, they have been implemented
into GAINS using a special interface routine. Missing information has been completed based on
scenarios already available in GAINS. In particular, this included development of national energy
scenarios for countries that are aggregated into a country group within the WEM, derivation of sector-
specific data for transport (vehicle-kilometres, vehicle numbers) and estimation of activities causing
process emissions (production of energy-intensive products, agricultural activities, storage and
handling of materials, waste treatment, etc.). Projections of activities for process sector have been
developed in collaboration with national experts. They remain the same for all three scenarios. This
means, that for all countries no changes in production structure of energy-intensive commodities and
no shift from OECD countries to the developing world was assumed.

3.2 Current Policies Scenario
Emissions of SO2, NOx and PM2.5 by country group up to 2035 for the Current Policies Scenario are
presented in Table 3.1 to Table 3.3. Emissions by SNAP sector, separated by OECD and non-OECD
countries, can be found in Table 3.4 to Table 3.6. Values for 2008 have been derived through
interpolation.
In 2005, world emissions of SO2 were about 96 million tons. OECD countries contributed 29 percent
to this total. Dominating sources are power plants and industrial emissions. Implementation of air
pollution controls and structural changes in energy consumption patterns as in the Current Policies
Scenario causes an 11 percent decrease in world emissions of SO2 emissions in 2020 compared with
2005. This is a combined effect of the decrease of emissions from the OECD region (minus 53
percent) and six percent increase from the rest of the world. Growth of emissions in non-OECD
countries in the period 2005 – 2020 is limited to only six percent because of implementation of
emission control measures according to the “current legislation” assumptions. However, after 2020 the
emissions in non-OECD countries increase and are in 2035 six million tons higher than in 2020. This
is mainly due to higher coal consumption in poorly controlled power plants in the developing world,
and in particular in Southeast Asia.
According to the GAINS assessment, world emissions of NOx were about 86 million tons in 2005, of
which 43 percent originated from the OECD countries. Road transport was responsible for about 35
percent of NOx emissions. Until 2020 the emissions decrease by 11 percent, due to more than 50
percent decrease of emissions form the OECD countries and a 17 percent increase from the rest of the
world. It needs to be stressed that majority of non-OECD countries are currently implementing
emission standards on road transport sources, which importantly slows down the pace of increase of
NOx emissions. After 2020 the world emissions increase, and are about 15 million tons higher in 2035
than in 2020.
Emissions of PM2.5 (38.2 million tons in 2005) are dominated by the sources from non-OECD
countries – 90 percent of total. On a global scale, the highest contributors are residential and
commercial combustion (45 percent of total) and industrial emissions (both: combustion-related and
process emissions - 27 percent). In 2020 and 2035 the world emissions are higher – by five and seven
percent, respectively. This relatively low increase of emissions - in spite of high increase in total
energy consumption - is due to the changes in fuel use patterns and better controls on sources in the
power plant sector, industry, and road transport.
Table 3.7 to Table 3.9 demonstrate emissions by country group and by fuel. Coal was responsible for
about 60 percent of world emissions of SO2 in 2005. Other important contributors were: oil use and the
process (other sources) sector - 20 and 18 percent, respectively. Whereas in the OECD countries the
emissions from coal decrease due to stringent emission limit values, the coal-related SO2 emissions for
the non-OECD countries increase up to 2035 by nearly 10 million tons. In case of NOx, oil contributed
54 percent to world emissions in 2005, followed by coal (22 percent) and gas (11 percent). In the
projection period the emissions from oil decrease, mainly due to better controls on transport sources.
Emissions from other fuels, in particular from coal, increase. PM2.5 emissions are dominated by
biomass fuels (41 percent) and process sources (40 percent of world emissions in 2005). The increase
of PM2.5 emissions for the projection period is mainly caused by higher coal use in non-OECD
-4-
countries. Characteristic are also small changes over time in the emissions from biomass and
processes.

3.3 New Policies Scenario
Emissions for the New Policies Scenario by country group are shown in Table 3.10 to Table 3.12.
Emissions by SNAP sector are presented in Table 3.13 to Table 3.15. In this scenario not only energy-
related CO2 emissions are reduced but also emissions of air pollutants decrease. By 2035, the SO2
emissions are nearly 14 million tons (or 15 percent) lower than in the Current Policies Scenario.
Majority of that reduction (12 million tons) occurs in non-OECD countries. In case of NOx, the
emissions are 11 percent lower. In absolute terms this means 10 million tons of NOx less, of which 8.4
million tons is due to lower emissions from non-OECD countries. Emissions decrease up to 2020 is
lower because of shorter period available for implementation of structural measures in the world
energy system.
Also PM2.5 emissions decrease in the New Policies Scenario compared with the Current Policies case.
In 2035 they are 1.4 million tons (or 3.4 percent) lower. It is characteristic, that the PM2.5 emissions
from the OECD region are slightly higher (by 0.2 million tons) in this scenario, which is due to higher
use of biomass fuels in the residential sector. Emissions from the non-OECD countries decrease by 1.6
million tons.
Table 3.16 to Table 3.18 present the emissions by fuel, separately for the OECD and non-OECD
country group. Also in this scenario dominating sources of PM2.5 are combustion of biomass fuels
and process emissions.

3.4 450 Scenario
Emissions for the 450 Scenario by country group are shown in Table 3.19 to Table 3.21. Emissions by
SNAP sector are presented in Table 3.22 to Table 3.23. Changes in fuel consumption volume and
structure aimed at a reduction of energy-related CO2 emissions cause an important reduction of
emission of air pollutants. By 2035, the SO2 emissions are 29.5 million tons (or 33 percent) lower than
in the Current Policies Scenario. Majority of that reduction (27 million tons) occurs in non-OECD
countries. In case of NOx, the emissions are 27 percent lower, which is to a large extent a result of
lower use of coal and lower emissions from mobile sources (road- and non-road vehicles). In absolute
terms this means nearly 25 million tons of NOx less, of which 21 million tons is due to lower
emissions from non-OECD countries. Also emissions of PM2.5 decrease compared with the Current
Policies Scenario. In 2035 they are about 3.3 million tons (or eight percent) lower. Similarly as in the
New Policies scenario the emissions from the OECD region are higher (by 0.6 million tons), which is
caused by higher use of biomass fuels in the residential sector. Emissions from the non-OECD
countries decrease by 3.9 million tons compared with the Current Policies case. Emissions by fuel for
the 450 scenario are shown in Table 3.25 to Table 3.27. Major contributor to lower emission levels is
the decrease in the use of coal (28 million tons of SO2, 14 million tons of NOx, and 3.5 million tons of
PM2.5 less compared with the Current Policies). Corresponding numbers for oil are: minus 3.3 million
tons of SO2, 9.2 million tons of NOx, and 0.5 million tons of PM2.5. In turn, the emissions from solid
biomass used in combustion processes are higher.

3.5 Comparison of emissions
Figure 3.1 to Figure 3.3 compare the emissions of air pollutants by major countries/country groups for
the two scenarios. Aggregation of country groups shown in this section is explained in Appendix 1.
Figures clearly demonstrate the prominent role of non-OECD countries in the world emissions of air
pollutants. Contributions of China and India are particularly high.

4 Air pollution control costs
This section presents air pollution control costs for the three WEO 2010 scenarios. Calculations
include international costs of pollution control equipment and have been done using the four percent
(social) real interest rate. All costs and prices are expressed in constant € 2005 and take into account
“current policy” pollution control legislation. Methodology of costs calculations can be found in
Amann et al, 2004.
Under such assumptions control costs were about 157 billion €/a in 2005. Until 2035 these costs
increase in the Current Policies Scenario by more than a factor of three, which is due to higher activity
levels (higher energy consumption, higher car ownership) and increasing stringency of controls. In
2035, 64 percent of the total are costs of reducing emissions from road transport sources.
The 450 Scenario brings 23 percent cost savings in 2035 compared with the Current Policies scenario.
The New Policies scenario brings nine percent reduction of costs. Details by country group are
presented in Table 4.1 to Table 4.3. Costs by sector (SNAP aggregation) are shown in Table 4.4 to
Table 4.6. Figure 4.1 compares the costs by countries/country groups for the three scenarios.

5 Health impacts
Comprehensive assessment of all health and environmental impacts of energy scenarios analyzed in
this report was not possible for all countries due to lack of data. Thus the analysis was limited to the
estimates of life years lost (YOLL) attributable to the exposure to PM2.5 in ambient air in Europe,
China and India. Countries included cover nearly half of the world population. Ambient PM2.5
concentrations include primary PM2.5 as well as secondary aerosols (sulphates and nitrates).
Methodology of the assessment was developed in collaboration with the World Health Organization
(WHO) - compare Amann, Heyes, Schöpp, and Mechler, 2004. Since the YOLL indicator includes
long-term health effects of exposure to fine particles, the estimates refer to the population above the
age of thirty8. It needs to be stressed that the assessment covers only outdoor exposure and does not
consider negative health effects of indoor air pollution.
Concentrations of fine particles as in 2005 cause a loss of about 1.9 billion of life years - Table 5.1.
This estimate is dominated by impacts in China and India, which together contribute 85 percent of
YOLL in 2005. The Current Policies Scenario implies an increase of the YOLL indicator until 2035 by
about 70 percent to 3.2 billion. This is a combined effect of higher emissions of air pollutants and
population increase in India and China and a decrease of air pollution in Europe. Reductions of
precursor emissions in the 450 Scenario compared with the Current Policies case and thus lower
concentrations of PM2.5 in 2035 save 740 million life-years, of which 360 million in China and 380
million in India. The New Policies scenario reduces life-years lost in the countries included in the
analysis by 340 million.
Compared with the numbers presented in the World Energy Outlook 2009, current estimates are lower.
They take into account more conservative (lower) values of relative risk factors for developing
countries (China and India), resulting from recent activities of the Global Burden of Disease Project9.

In 2005, the share of population over the age of thirty was 53 percent in China, 42 percent in India and 72
percent in the European Union.

6 Summary and conclusions
This report presents emissions of air pollutants for energy scenarios analyzed in the World Energy
Outlook 2010. Estimations have been done with the IIASA GAINS model. The study covers emissions
from 25 regions of the world, consistent with the aggregation of countries in the IEA World Energy
Model. The national assessment does not include emissions form international shipping as well as
cruising emissions from aviation. Also emissions from biomass burning (deforestation, savannah
burning, and vegetation fires) are not included in national totals.
The assessment takes into account current air pollution control legislation in each country. In the
Current Policies Scenario the world emissions of SO2 (96 million tons in 2005) decrease by 11 percent
until 2020. In the period 2030 – 2035 the emissions increase by about 5 million tons. The emissions of
NOx (86 million tons in 2005) decrease until 2020 also by about 11 percent and then begin to rise, so
that in 2035 they are six percent higher than in 2005. Emissions of PM2.5 (35 million tons in 2005) are
four to seven percent higher over the projection period
The 450 Scenario, with stringent policies to reduce energy-related CO2 emissions, causes important
reductions of emissions of air pollutants compared with the Current Policies case. In 2035 this
reduction is 33 % for SO2, 27 percent for NOx, and eight percent for PM2.5. Expenditures on air
pollution control in the 450 scenario are reduced in 2035 by 117 billion €/a compared with the Current
Policy case. Also impact of air pollution on human health is much lower for the scenario with stringent
climate measures. In 2035, life years lost in Europe, China and India attributable to the exposure from
anthropogenic emissions of PM2.5 decrease in the 450 scenario by 23 percent, which means saving of
more than seven hundred million life years.
These numbers clearly demonstrate the importance of co-benefits of climate policies for air pollution.
These co-benefits should be taken into account in the process of developing strategies and targets for
reducing emissions of climate-relevant gases.
